Care instructions
Here is an early variety of long bean imported from China. 20-inch pods are straight and smooth, bright-green, and of excellent quality. This hardy long bean is easy to grow almost anywhere. Very tasty stir-fried.

After frost, when soil has warmed, sow 1-2 inches deep, 4-6 inches apart in rows where plants are to grow. Vigorous climbers need full sun and a trellis or other support. Takes heat and humidity better than common beans; recommended for the Deep South. Keep the pods picked to maintain production. Drought tolerant, but more productive with adequate moisture. The pods are stringless and tender, and taste best sauteed (not boiled).
